Interior Design (BID)

Interior design that thinks, functions, and inspires.

The Bachelor of Interior Design at Louisiana Tech University is a CIDA-accredited professional degree focused on how space works — not just how it looks. Rooted in design thinking and spatial problem-solving, the program prepares students to shape interior environments that support how people live, work, and interact. It’s about designing for function, experience, and impact.

Students explore how light, form, material, color, and circulation define space and apply those elements to real-world challenges. From day one, the curriculum emphasizes critical thinking, technical skill, and conceptual development. Courses build fluency in digital and hand drafting, 3D modeling, building systems, construction methods, and human-centered design.

What sets this program apart is its focus on design as both a creative and technical discipline. Students gain the tools to think like designers: solving problems, refining ideas, and communicating clearly. With support from experienced faculty and studio-based learning, students graduate with a strong portfolio and a deep understanding of the profession.

If you're interested in how design shapes experience, and you want to make environments that are thoughtful, functional, and forward-thinking, Interior Design offers a path that blends creativity, purpose, and professional preparation.
